I hope you get more feedback than from me regarding illogical statements in signatures involving out of context qutoes from someone else. Maybe you'd like me to quote a few of your posts in my own signature?
what you're doing is making a false accusation. i don't care about that. what bothers me is the intense double standards, [...] going on in this forum, and the extreme arrogance it takes to say that people should just compile things because it's not that difficult. it ignores the crapload of trouble i've gone to to try to make simple things work. you want to crap on the effort i've made to learn and tell me it's easy and i should get off my ass and compile? fine. expect a retort, because what you're implying is smug, ignorant of what it's like to be someone other than you, and insulting.
i already realize that was not your intention, or softwaregurl's. i'm not mad at her. i find her thesis INCREDIBLY frustratin and (not her intention either) i find it insulting, but i don't mind her. she's cool. you usually are, too.
but now you're accusing me of quoting OTHER PEOPLE. i see no quote. obviously you're out to make me a bad person. well, i'm no more impressed by your stupid accusation than you are by my sig. and i do not think you're stupid- i'm not really that mad at you- but this accusation is DUMB. all the evidence is right in front of you if you wish to reexamine it. if you don't have the time to judge based on reason, don't judge!
EDIT
you mean THIS?
How do I install a TCE package from the command line?

LOOKS PRETTY IN-CONTEXT TO ME!
but seriously, you people are nuts. if it's wrong of me to say that roberts recommends command line tools for installing packages for "experts" and that therefore, compiling should logically represent a greater challenge, then obviously I SHOULD WATCH WHAT I SAY AROUND HERE.
i'll remove my sig [...], if you're going to take offense to NOTHING, extend me the same courtesy! the different is you run the place, eh? well, that will always win an argument sooner or later.
